    @silmaril “system version” is the version that was used by your system/distribution to link cantor against. We’ll re-phrase this part to make it more clear until we have a better and more flexible solution in place.

    Yes, showing the version should be possible in the settings dialog. We added this point to our TODO-list.

      Great to hear!

      I’d phrase this differently: The “system version” is the version that was used by the build system.

      Most users don’t build the application themselves, so this is some system they have zero knowledge about, which means this information is not helpful at all.

      I understood “your system” as “the system I am using to run this software”.

      I know this might be hard for developers sometimes, but please try to phrase all documentation (except chapters about actual development, builds etc.) from the user’s point of view. Build systems are no part of a typical user’s environment ;-)
